"Where brilliance is good and madness is better..."
Helovia Info
Helovia opened in February 2012! We are an active fantasy equine RPG
Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Endless Night :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
Endless Night :: Dead Magic Plot ☼ - 6/22/13 - The gods of Helovia, in order to protect the world, have disappeared into the rift, leaving the world sunless, moonless and magic-less in their absence. Only the herdlands have a source of light, but lamp-trees with glowing leaves and branches sporadically line the popular roads and paths from place to place.
Doppleganger Plot ☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.
ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

Character of the Month for
June, 2017
WEAVER, Corporal of the Aurora Basin, is a relatively recent addition to Helovia and has taken it by storm. Branded with the seal of Death on her chest, intrigue and interest follow both her past and present. Though she is assuredly beautiful, her sometimes sharp personality reveals that there is more to this uni-peg hybrid than meets the eye. Proving herself able on the battlefield in the Basin’s warrior ranks, we can’t wait to see her test her mettle against the looming Kaos happenings! Congratulations!

Oohhh boy. Continuation from this thread. Gaucho is challenging Note regarding Sohalia. If he wins, in effect Note will be forced to agree not to speak/interact with Sohalia unless necessary. If Note wins, bry can set the terms. I assume it will be something similar, that Gaucho would have to leave Sohalia alone.
LOVE DRAMA. SORRY BRY.
The words buzzed in Gaucho's primitive mind like bright glowing balls of light. They completely eclipsed any possibility of rational thought or alternative discourse or action. They hung sharply, almost physically in his field of vision due to their intensity. What had only been speculation before, had been solidified.
I mean, she is my mate after all
The rush of blood became louder and louder in Gaucho's brain, as a testosterone fuelled rage washed away any thoughts of this being settled peacefully.
Was my mate?
A snarl appeared on Gaucho's dark lips, separating them until his startling white teeth could be seen. His vision turned red, and in that moment he only had eyes for the dusty stallion. Sohalia was leaving - mumbling something. He didn't care. They would speak later. The question of whether or not Sohalia had any choice in the matter - that this might be resolved without hooves and teeth, but instead by a simple words from the white dove - was not even remotely considered. That Sohalia and Gaucho had never solidified their...whatever it was, that there might not even be anything to solidify, was irrelevant. What was relevant, was his right to find out, and not to be bothered by Sohalia's past. The dun cared very little about what Sohalia had done - what her feelings were prior to him.
It was a matter of principle; of honour.
"No." Gaucho asserted, his rumbling tone even as he took an obviously aggressive step forward. Fire-light danced in heatless waves around his hair, wings, and hooves. "Sohalia mine." He grunted, stormy gaze narrowing as he advanced closer to his former herd-mate. With each step, his hooves struck the ground with a dull thud. He lowered his antlered brow, so that the tines of his antlers were pointed in a hostile manner towards the stallion that he hoped, would be his opponent.
He tried to angle himself to make it clear that Note must either submit, or rise to his challenge.
"You want the chance to have her, you go through me."
Chivalry, might not be something you associate with Gaucho, but that would be a mistake. In Gaucho's mind, the one who could protect Sohalia - the one physically capable - would be the best mate. If Note truly thought himself in any way worthy of her, at the very least, shouldn't he at least try to fight for her? Both for his honour, and hers?
WC: 402
Standard challenge rules -- new battle system.
Attack: 0/4
If you choose to accept, Note can definitely attack first :3
Her petite hooves crossed the caves with soft thuds as Gaucho set himself in an incredibly aggressive stance. Note had no doubt in his mind that the beast wanted a fight, Sohalia was going to cry, and it would be all his fault. He did not wish to be affiliated with either of those things. Anguish caught his words as he spun on his back hooves and took a couple steps. Maybe he could go after her, fight Gaucho, win her back..but no. The realization had already set in. Sohalia did not love him. She couldn't. She loved Gaucho. These months had changed the seasons, and with that came the changing of her love.
Note tucked his head, closing his eyes as the beast continued to speak. He wanted to be angry at Gaucho, but he wasn't. 'We simply cannot help our emotions. There's no reason to be angry at them,' the dusty bay told himself. He was exhausted, and in no mood to wreck someone else's relationship with a fight of all things. And he certainly wasn't going to treat a woman as property. "Gaucho, Sohalia is not a trinket to be fought over. She is not yours, she is her own." Note began, turning his heads sideways to acknowledge the stallion. "There are many things I would do for Sohalia, but battle for the right to be her mate? No. I am not going to fight for fake love."
The dusty bay turned to face the larger fully. He held his head low, ears at half mast, eyes averted, and body placid. Note was doing one thing he had never dreamed to see himself do: he was giving up.

Mhm, yeah, no. Note's not gonna be participating in this one! He forfeits.
"The thought made Note's heart ache, but that's what love is. You don't care if the other person hates you or rejects you or anything of the sort because you just want to see them be happy." pixel by tamme
